In fact, certain thoughts had been buried in King Sang's heart for a long time, and the Brahma God only played a role in fueling the flames.
This kind of adding fuel to the fire was originally not allowed, but who could blame the fact that the fate of the Sang Kingdom and the fate of Buddhism had previously been in violent conflict?
What's more amazing is that even if Lord Brahma's instigation will eventually lead to Buddhism suffering a tragic blow, the one who will suffer the backlash from Buddhism's great fortune will not be Lord Brahma, but King Sang!
Chapter 161 Is Your Knife Sharp?
After the great demon in Tongming Temple was eliminated, Ruhai and Rukong received some rewards and returned to their own temple.
They didn't care about these rewards at all. It was a huge loss to risk their lives to get such a small thing.
Fortunately, they gained a lot of topics to talk about, and they can brag about their "brave fight against the devil" for the rest of their lives.
"That big demon is as tall as a mountain, and every time he steps on the ground it's like an earthquake."
"At that time, we formed a formation of 108 Arhats and fought against it till the sky was dark!"
Ruhai and Rukong were talking to their fellow disciples about how to subdue demons with saliva flying all over the place, and everyone was fascinated by what they heard.
But at this moment, noisy footsteps came from outside.
At first everyone thought that a large number of pilgrims had arrived, but they soon discovered that it was not the case. Instead, the visitors were actually government officials!
"Oh, it's Master Su! Haha, I haven't seen you for a long time. What's going on today?"
Rukong was quite familiar with Lord Su, and seeing him coming aggressively, he could not help but step forward and ask.
"The king has ordered that the assets of all third-class temples in Sang Kingdom be seized, and all monks will be stripped of their monk status and expelled from the temples."
"..."
Because this matter was so unreal, the monks looked at each other, totally unsure of how to react.
"Why, do you still need me to ask you to leave?"
"Wait wait wait, Lord Su, don't joke around." Rukong showed an annoyed look: "The king can't possibly give such an order. We just worked for the king!"
"How could I joke with you about this kind of thing? In fact, I am also very shocked. I came here to execute the king's order only after repeated confirmation."
Lord Su shook his head and said, "Now that things have come to this, you should just accept it. When you get out, learn a skill. If you can't do it, go help others farm. You can always make a living."
"I won't leave. This is Jikong Temple. You are the ones who should leave!"
"Yeah, yeah, we're not leaving."
"Why did you take over our temple? You dog officials, dog officials!"
.........................
Just as the monks were about to start making a fuss, the officers all drew their swords.
As soon as the weapons came out, many monks showed fear on their faces.
But not everyone was afraid. Dozens of monks looked at Rukong, silently waiting for him to make a decision.
"Lord Su, are you serious?" The flesh on Rukong's face trembled.
"Am I kidding? Leave this Jikong Temple immediately, or I will arrest you all!"
Seeing that they were standing there motionless like empty wooden stakes, Lord Su gave an order to have all the more than 40 monks of Jikong Temple thrown into jail.
"It's over, it's over, it's all over."
Ru Hai sat on the ground in despair: "The abilities of the monks in the third-class temple have been seen through by the king, but we are so rich. Now we have all become fat pigs and will be slaughtered by the king!"
Hearing this, Rukong's fists clenched so hard that they made a clattering sound.
He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "Does he treat us as fat pigs? Let's see if his knife is sharp enough!"
"Brother, what do you want to do?"
"You dare to treat grandpa like a pig and slaughter him. You are rebelling against his mother!"
hiss--
Ru Hai gasped, quickly pulled Ru Kong to his side and whispered, "No, no, no, no, rebellion will cost you your head, it's better to live a miserable life than to die. Besides, with our limited abilities, why would we rebel?"
"Ha, Junior Brother, you are not someone who can live a hard life. You will be living a miserable life if you die!"
Rukong said coldly: "Besides, whether we are powerful or not depends on who we are compared with. Let's not talk about Master Tangtang. We are indeed not as good as the masters of first- and second-class temples. But if it's an ordinary person holding a knife, what can he do? I can beat ten of them by myself!"
This is true for Hisense. In fact, he can beat ten people alone.
If they really wanted to risk their lives before, they could have chased away the officers with their bare hands.
........................
"Junior brother, I'm going to rush out now, do you want to follow me?"
Ru Hai didn't say anything for a while, as if he was thinking hard about something.
"Rebellion might be a solution."
After a long while, he murmured, "Only when the king knows he is afraid will he take back his order."
"Hmph, I just need to let that guy know how powerful I am!" Rukong nodded vigorously.
"It's definitely not possible to rely on us alone. Fortunately, the king is not only targeting Jikong Temple, but all third-class temples in Sang Kingdom."
Ru Hai wiped his face and looked around quietly for a moment. Seeing that the jailer didn't notice this, he lowered his voice and said, "We have to unite everyone to make a big noise."
Makes sense!
Rukong nodded repeatedly.
"We are all Buddhists. Those powerful masters will not help the king to suppress us. After the matter gets out of hand, we will find Master Tangtang to mediate, and we will go back to Jikong Temple to live a good life again."
Ru Hai finished speaking in one breath, and then he saw his senior brother giving him a thumbs up.
"Junior brother, your dog-headed military advisor is really amazing!"
What a dog-headed military advisor, are you insulting me or praising me?
Ru Hai rolled his eyes wildly. Seeing that Ru Kong was rubbing his hands and couldn't wait to fight, he quickly added, "Don't worry. Everyone hasn't given up yet. When they get out of jail in a few days and find that Ji Kong Temple is really occupied by the government, they will risk everything and follow us."
"My old brothers will definitely be willing to go with me. After all, we have been fighting for our lives together before we became monks."
These words went around in Rukong's mouth for a while, but he finally swallowed them.
"Brother is right, don't worry, let's wait a little longer!"
........................
The monks in the third-class temples in Sangguo have no ability to subdue demons, but they are very good at causing trouble.
Just a few days after the order to seal off the temples was implemented, riots broke out in various places.
"The king was manipulated by evil magic and issued such a ridiculous order because he was not in his right mind."
"Enter the palace and wake the king up!"
Although King Sang is the ruler of a country, his courage is no greater than that of an ordinary person.
Seeing the monks making such a commotion, he suddenly felt a little scared.
"Your Majesty, please ask Master Tangtang to make peace with them." The queen complained, "I advised you not to do this, but you didn't listen."
"..."
Seeing that her husband was stubborn and refused to say anything, the queen directly gave the order to "invite Master Tangtang to the palace as soon as possible" without him noticing.
This order was quickly spread to all parts of Sang Country. However, Master Tangtang could not be found!
Master Tangtang cannot be found, and the entire Buddhist community cannot find another person with the prestige to mediate between the two sides.
As time went on, the situation gradually showed signs of getting out of control.
King Sang had to mobilize a large number of troops to various places to suppress the riots, and the monks became more and more violent in order to protect themselves.
Chapter 162: Lord Brahma Arrives
The god Brahma was originally born from the resentment of Qianzu, so the resentment between heaven and earth is the best tonic for this god.
The Sang Kingdom had been at peace for a long time, and before that, the Brahma God could not get any resentment to replenish himself.
But now it’s different. As the struggle between the two sides intensifies, huge resentment continues to gather towards the statue of the six-armed monster god!

A tiny crack appeared on the statue, and Jiang Tianlu was overjoyed when he saw it.
"My Lord, are we ready to carry out the Advent Ceremony?"
After getting a positive answer, Jiang Tianlu happily began a series of arrangements.
According to the current progress, all preparations can be completed in about four days.
When the time comes, Lord Brahma will come and confer the title of Goddess of Auspiciousness on the little girl!
Jiang Tianlu suddenly felt a headache, because even after all his persuasion, Master Tangtang still hadn't surrendered and was refusing to throw himself into the arms of the great Brahma God.
'I really underestimated her for having such perseverance.'
Feeling a little depressed, Jiang Tianlu came to a secret room.
The secret room was filled with people, and their mouths opened and closed, and poems praising Brahma echoed throughout this small world.
But the real owner was sitting on the cloud bed in the center and fell asleep? !
Jiang Tianlu sighed deeply, clapped his hands, and everyone immediately shut up and left the secret room in an orderly manner.
"Master Mage, your canonization day will be in four days."
"Then my Lord will personally save you. No matter how much you resist, it will be useless."
Hoo, hoo--
"Master Mage, please don't pretend to be asleep. Jiang doesn't believe you are sleeping!"
Hoo, hoo--
Could he really be asleep? That would be really embarrassing.
Jiang Tianlu stepped forward quickly and waved his hand in front of Tangtang.
Seeing that the little girl didn't react at all, the immortal patted her on the shoulder again.
After one slap, Jiang Tianlu immediately felt something was wrong.
......................
There are two seals on Tangtang's body, one on her forehead, sealing all her magical powers; the other on the white bone relic, blocking her connection with the relic.
However, at this moment, the little girl's magic power has clearly bypassed the restrictions of the talisman and merged with the white bone relic.
The relic kept hitting the seal on the forehead and was about to break it open!
How did she get around the restrictions?
Jiang Tianlu frowned and examined carefully, and found that although the little girl's own magic power was far less powerful than the relic, she was extremely lively and agile.
The blocking talisman was still working, but it couldn't keep up with her rhythm at all. It blocked one end but had no time to block the other, which meant it was already ineffective!
"Alas, Jiang is also convinced by you."
As he was able to improve his cultivation under such circumstances, Jiang Tianlu had to admit that he was impressed by Master Tangtang.
The paper talisman on the forehead fell silently, the two braids on the little girl's head trembled, she wiped her eyes and woke up.
When she woke up, she saw Jiang Tianlu looking at her with a bitter face.
"noob!"
The white bone relic flew out and smashed hard on the immortal's head.
Snapped--
Another paper talisman was pasted on the relic. Jiang Tianlu flicked his finger and flicked it into the little girl's arms.
"Master Mage, Jiang has added another blocking talisman for you. Do you have any way to break through now?"
"Bastard!"
Seeing that her Xiaobai became silly again, Tangtang was very angry.
